Cleared for Week 7 Howard (groin/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact The pair of injuries sidelined Howard for last week's loss to the Jaguars and limited him in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he'll be able to gut it out and suit up Sunday. Expect Howard to spend most of the game covering Atlanta's top wideout, Calvin Ridley.

Looks on track to play Howard (shoulder/groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After sitting out the Week 6 loss to the Jaguars due to the pair of injuries, Howard managed limited participation in practices Wednesday through Friday. The cornerback has seemingly avoided any setbacks in the process, so he looks like he'll avoid the inactive list ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Howard will likely spend most of the day shadowing top Atlanta wideout Calvin Ridley, who is returning from a one-game absence of his own.

Week 7 status uncertain Howard (shoulder/groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Howard missed last week's loss to the Jaguars due to the two injuries but was able to practice on a limited basis throughout the week. With fellow cornerbacks Noah Igbinoghene (knee) and Byron Jones (Achilles/groin) both questionable as well, Miami's beat-up secondary could have a hard time containing Atlanta's passing game. Top Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will be an especially appealing fantasy option if Howard ultimately sits out.

Sidelined for London game Howard (shoulder/groin) won't play against the Jaguars in London on Sunday, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact A matchup with mistake-prone rookie Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence would have presented a great opportunity for Howard to pad his interception total, but the standout cornerback will instead sit out across the pond. Howard will look to heal up from his pair of injuries in time to retake the field against the Falcons in Week 7.

Absent from Thursday's practice Howard (shoulder/groin) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Dealing with injuries Howard (shoulder/groin) did not practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Howard is the pillar of Miami's secondary and arguably of the team's entire defense, so he can scarcely afford to miss time. His status will need to be monitored during the final two practices of the week and leading up to Sunday's game in Jacksonville.
